Okay, you can't ';improve pixels.'; They are what they are. What resolution did you shoot at? Do you know? That will help determine what you can do.





You need to learn some of the basics of Photoshop. Get a decent basic book, look for online tutorials (there are a ton of them out there!)





Look at the Photoshop Help menu.


There are various things you can do, such as


Sharpen


Smart Sharpen


Unsharp Mask


Layer Masks and painting on masks


Brightness/contrast


Hue/Saturation


Blur


Remove Noise


Levels


Curves





You get the idea. There is some info on this in the Help menu.


A couple of books to consider Is Photoshop for Dummies (look for the version number that you have, and ';Dummies'; is not an insult, it merely means you need to learn the basics), Adobe Photoshop Visual Quick Start Guide, and the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book (some people find the Classroom in a Book books a little ';dry';). I personally like the Visual Quick Start Guide books.





One important thing if you are going to mess around with your images: open the file in Photoshop and do a SAVE AS before you do anything else! Select Photoshop as the file type from the drop down menu, also recommend renaming the file, it can be simple like [file name]Rev1. This way you are working on a COPY of your image, not the original, so you will always have that original file and can go back to it if you want or need to.





Also if you are using files from your digital camera, most likely the camera will give you file names like IMG000201. Rename that to something that describes the photo so you can remember it better.





Good luck and don't be afraid to experiment!
